Melba Ramirez, PA, Realtor®, ABR, CRS, GRI, CLHMS, CFS, RENE

I have been involved in multimillion dollar real estate deals for the past 40 years and I can confidently recommend Melba as being, by far, the best Realtor I ever dealt with. Melba is a winner!

We are very pleased to convey our sincere appreciation for the excellent services provided by Melba Jimenez. With Melba’s expert guidance, we unexpectedly found our new home during a brief four-day visit to a friend in Sarasota. At our initial meeting, she listened and quickly understood us, and encouraged us to see our new home in The Meadows, which is a perfect fit for us. Melba went beyond the call of duty to help us before, during and after the closing. We appreciate her expertise and extra efforts to help us since this is an unplanned move. We have relied on her kind assistance while our move from Arlington has been delayed. Melba is a solid professional and a wonderful human being who genuinely cares about her clients – which is why we have recommended her services (and Michael Saunders & Company’s) to our friends and colleagues interested in moving to Sarasota.

The sale of my home was a challenging transaction requiring extensive communication and negotiations. Melba was tireless in effecting the many details of this transaction. Her actions were professional, ethical and finally successful. I commend her for the quality of her work and effort.

I would not have been able to sell my property so fast if it weren't for Melba's dedication and long hours of work, professionalism and ethical services. As an investor, I have other properties to sell, and Melba will definitely represent them all. Thanks Melba!

We were very satisfied with you representing us!  Some highlights of our experience working with you: - Good listener; heard and understood our position- Always upbeat, positive, and can-do- Felt you represented our interests well- Responsive to needs/questions, excellent follow-up We will look you up if we are in a position of buying/selling again; and will also recommend you.

In a 6 year real estate buyers’ market it's a tough time to be selling a home. This makes us all the more appreciative of Melba’s results. Our house had been listed for 2 long years before Melba took on the listing and due to her diligent marketing and negotiating skills, she produced a sale. We highly recommend her!

Because of your effective marketing efforts, you were able to sell our condo in the dead of summer when other Realtors tried but failed.

You helped me discover the ultimate home experience, making me a happy first time homeowner. Thanks for going the extra mile.

Let me take this opportunity to praise your associate Melba Jimenez. I had previously had the house on the market for over two years with another Realtor. Amazingly, when Melba listed the property within a matter of days she was able to locate a prospective buyer desirous of completing a transaction and we were able to close.

Being out of state buyers, we had to trust you with all the details. It really could not have gone any better.

We would like to sing the praises of Melba Jimenez. Melba is dedicated and extremely professional. She worked very diligently for us by advertising the homes, holding open houses, being present at every showing, and completing every step through the closing process. Melba always had our best interests in mind and, we feel, gave us exceptional service. Thank you again for your excellent service. We will certainly recommend Michael Saunders & Company without hesitation.

As a 43  year veteran in the real estate market… I had the opportunity to “sit on the opposite side of the desk,” as a buyer on a Sarasota property that Melba had listed.  My husband, Bill, and I bought a darling little income house.  Even though I had driven by the house many times, I decided to go online and take a peek at the virtual tour.  That marketing piece was well done and soon afterward, my husband, Bill, and I entered into a contract on the property.  However, as many of us know… the contract is only the beginning of a transaction.  While it wasn’t a stressful process, there were a few hiccups with the inspection, title search, etc.  Melba was ahead of the curve on every issue.  There is no doubt that it could have taken a different turn, but didn’t because of Melba’s tenacity, professionalism and ability to resolve all potential problems before they became a problem.  Now, I cannot only say that I have worked with Melba as a peer in the same office;  but I have also experienced first hand why she is considered a top associate in our marketplace.Well done Melba and thank you!!! 

Working with you, Melba was once again a positive experience.  Your smile is infectious, attention to detail an asset, and dedication to find just the right place for the right price incredible!  Thank you for your personal interest in my home search.  I trust your judgment. I appreciate your honesty.  Thank you isn’t enough to express my gratitude.

Your efforts in marketing our condo resulted in so many showings and better yet, a sale! It is obvious you are a hard worker. Your passion in selling real estate really shows in everything you do and say.

I wanted to share with you what a wonderful experience we had with Melba Jimenez. Melba was a dream, she worked tirelessly to sell our house and to ensure we got the new home we really wanted. She treated the whole process as if it were her own home being sold and buying her new dream home. She was always available to us and gave us so much information to make the best decisions. I will recommend her to anyone. Thank you for the excellent service and professionalism your company demonstrated.

Before our son bought a condo from Melba last year, she asked all the right questions and took her time getting to know him. She found the perfect match, at great savings, in the right neighborhood for him.

Thanks for your enthusiasm, knowledge, professionalism and kindness. You matched me perfectly with my house. Melba gets results...boy, do you ever!

Melba was the epitome of professionalism and knowledge. Her advice and guidance were superior to anything we had experienced in our numerous real estate transactions, enabling us to price the house properly and conclude our sale in nine days. In this environment, this was truly a fantastic feat.

Your support, patience, tenacity, diligence and attention to detail were the key parameters in choosing the right course of action while selling both of our homes.

We had the pleasure of working with Melba Jimenez & her Associate Ryndie Brusco on the Sale of of our Sarasota Home. From start to finish they were very responsive, kind, and constant professionals. We look forward to the opportunity to work with them again. Thank You !

I contracted with Michael Saunders through your representative Melba Jimenez for the sale of my property in Laurel Oak. The sale was a particularly difficult transaction requiring extensive communication and negotiation with the buyer. Mrs. Jimenez was tireless in effecting the many details of this transaction. Her actions were professional, ethical and finally successful. Michael Saunders should be commended for the quality of your operation and the efforts of Mrs. Jimenez.

Your ability to negotiate, find solutions on tough issues and your cheerful personality made it a pleasure to work with you.

Great experience working with Melba who played a critical role in the successful sale of our investment rental property. She was extremely knowledgeable about property valuations in the area where our property was located. She networked with numerous brokers whom she had worked with previously and identified a cash buyer who closed on time and at our target price. I’m sure we will be working with Melba again and would recommend her to anyone needing professional real estate services.

We appreciated the fact that we could call you anytime and you were always cheerfully available and willing to help us get the right answers.

Melba is a dynamo! She was willing to work hard and move as fast as we needed.

Melba’s attention to detail, her preparation and invaluable information made our move an extremely pleasurable experience. She goes the extra mile to demonstrate how much she cares about your needs and how much she loves what she does.

Melba:My wife and I loved working with you because you are extremely knowledgeable about Sarasota, the developments, and builders for new and used homes. You are very truthful and honest and point out things we sometimes forget to consider or don’t put enough weight on. You are professional, very hardworking, wonderful personality and disposition. Thanks again for all you did for us! Steve & MaryJane Swaney 

Your perseverance and attention to details, along with your effective interaction with both attorneys and listing agents, were instrumental in the challenging process of getting us to closing. More than our real estate agent, you have become our new trusted friend.

A true and enthusiastic professional who knows real estate, how to listen, what to promote and how to get results. She's energetic, yet patient and pragmatic, but also genuinely cares for her clients. Would use her again and again and recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thanks Melba!!

We decided to enter your office on Main Street just as they were closing and met the only agent in the office: Melba Jimenez. Melba devoted hours showing us homes available in the area. We knew right there that we were in good hands. Our purchase was extremely complicated and through it all, Melba helped us navigate the complexities with vigor, tact, and diplomacy. We’ve been so impressed with Melba that we referred our closest friends to her.

You invested more time and effort than we could have anticipated.

You represented us with such professionalism, making buying a house much easier than buying a car.

Melba gets results because she works tirelessly and responds to every phone call and request. Our home really stood out due to her knowledge and expertise and she sold it in only 34 days!
